[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
with a phrase I would characterize this photograph as the happiness of life!!!

they are very social birds and all day they fly "dancing" together,
they play in the hunting and they play when eating
as if they are glad continuously the moment of their existence,
their observation is really pleasant...!

The European Bee-eater/Merops apiaster

Hello Nasos,
A very nice capture of two European Bee-eaters taken in a nice pose,one with a caught dragonfly. The central composition on the dead branch works well and the scene was taken with fine sharpness and lighting against a pleasing sky BG.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Hi Nasos,

How wonderful it must be to watch these Bee-eater "fly dancing." A marvelous capture of the two posing so beautifully together. A real bonus for the one to have a dragonfly in his beak! Colors and details are magnificent. The centered composition is sensational.

Preciosa toma Nasos, de gran nitidez y con un excelente enfoque. Bello conjunto al estar la pose de las aves bien conjuntada con la rama de la base. Un trabajo excelente.
